Title: Toothbrush usage monitoring system
IPC: A46B15/00
Filed: 2001-04-17
Abstract: A method is proposed for analysing the usage of a toothbrush made by a subject. The position of the toothbrush is monitored using a position sensor on the brush, and the position of the teeth is monitored by a position sensor mounted in a known fixed relation to the teeth. The resultant data is used to find the relative positions of the toothbrush and teeth over time. Statistical analysis of this data permits the identification of habitual brushing failures by subjects of the toothbrush. The toothbrush may transmit the output of its position sensor to a data analysis unit as a wireless signal. The toothbrush may also be provided with further sensors, such as pH and pressure sensors, the output of which is used in the statistical analysis to enrich the results.

Title: A method of reinforcing a seam
Filed: 2007-08-31
Abstract: A method of reinforcing a seam 10 in a garment or other textile article comprises adhering a layer of substantially unidirectionally extensible elastic material along the length of the seam 10 such that the material straddles the seam and the direction of extensibility is aligned with the elongate direction C of seam 10. The seam may be stitched and/or ultrasonically or adhesively bonded.

The strip preferably includes elastic woven or knitted warp yarns which allow stretch of the strip along the seam and inelastic weft yarns which resist extension in the width direction. This allows the strip to protect the seam form forces which would otherwise tend to pull it apart. The strip may be applied to the seam in a tensioned state along at least part of the seam such that on release of the tension a ruched effect is produced. The strip may be located inside a garment for comfort or outside for decorative effect.

Title: Crystal oscillator
IPC: H03B5/36
Filed: 1999-05-14
Abstract: A crystal oscillator comprises a crystal 1 and a crystal oscillator circuit 3 for providing an output signal 5. In order to adjust the output frequency, for example during the testing stage of production, a bank of load capacitors C1 to C6 are provided. Each capacitor C1 to C6 may be switched into or out of the circuit by a respective switch 9 to 19. The switches are controlled by control lines D0 to D5, which are set by a 6 bit register 21, known as the trim register. The value in the trim register is set according to the frequency of the output signal. To counteract any swing in the output signal, a bank of current switches T1 to T4 are provided, which enable resistors R1 to R4 to be switched into or out of the circuit. Each resistor R1 to R4 is switched by a respective one of the control lines D2 to D5. Thus, adjusting the load capacitance to obtain a desired frequency causes the oscillator core current to be changed automatically, thereby maintaining a constant swing in the output signal.

Title: Method and apparatus for speech coding with voiced/unvoiced detemination
IPC: G10L25/93
Filed: 1999-12-24
Abstract: This invention presents a voicing determination algorithm for classification of a speech signal segment as voiced or unvoiced. The algorithm is based on a normalised autocorrelation where the length of the window is proportional to the pitch period. The speech segment to be classified is further divided into a number of sub-segments, and the normalised autocorrelation is calculated for each sub-segment. If a certain number of the normalised autocorrelation values is above a predetermined threshold, the speech segment is classified as voiced. To improve the performance of the voicing determination algorithm in unvoiced to voiced transients, the normalised autocorrelations of the last sub-segments are emphasised. The performance of the voicing decision algorithm can be enhanced by utilising also the possible lookahead information. <IMAGE>
